Yonder Comes A Sucker
View chords used in this chart
D Railroad, Steamboat, River and A7 Canal
Yonder comes a sucker and he's got my D gal
And she's gone, gone, gone
And she's gone, gone, gone
And I'll bid her my A7 last fare-{D} well.
D I fell in love with a pretty little thing
I thought that A7 wedding bells would D ring
She was as sweet as she could be
Til I found A7 out what she did to D me.
CHORUS
I asked her mother to let her go
She whispered "Mother, please tell him, No!
Tho' he may think that I am true
There are plenty more, who'll think so, too."
CHOURS
Now I won't cry my life away
Some other sucker will have to pay
And when he finds that she is gone
I guess I'll hear him sing this song.
